<\/p>\n

what is the sum of broken words<\/p>\n

words rented under
\nresplendent circumstance
\nconvenient and
\nso often recanted<\/p>\n

words born from the parentage of
\nalcohol and fireside passion<\/p>\n

words that are
\nindifferent
\nand spoken in
\nhushed and harsh tones<\/p>\n

words on signs
\nguiding lines
\nstrapped
\nin and out of time<\/p>\n

words that carry images
\nfrom one soul to the next
\nlike ravens under a
\nsoft morning moon<\/p>\n

words on the television
\nand words on the radio
\nexhibiting safe and
\nsenseless noise<\/p>\n

words annexed
\nin random texts
\nvexed
\nunder-sexed
\nperplexed
\nand continually indexed<\/p>\n

words in posts
\nperceived as ghosts
\nstriking at an unlikely host<\/p>\n

words like the breath of
\nblackened lungs
\nsoft and
\nreeling against reality<\/p>\n

words concealed
\nlater to be revealed
\ndead or dying
\non some distant battlefield<\/p>\n

words written to congregate
\nand eviscerate
\nthe profession of middle age
\nclutching at makeshift melodies
\nlike some mad composer<\/p>\n

words conjured in a solitary salvo
\nthat will never see the light of day<\/p>\n

words as a
\nprocess of elimination
\npossible procrastination
\ntoward an inevitable destination<\/p>\n

words as an impulsive
\naddiction
\nsacrificed
\nand spent like spare change<\/p>\n

your words
\nmy words
\nempty
\nand laid bare upon the horizon<\/p>\n

words written from
\nthe other side of me
\nas instruction
\ndictation
\nwith no dedication<\/p>\n

each morning i type
\nwords
\nlike armageddon
\nlaughing
\nand reaching
\nfor that
\none final moment of ecstasy<\/p>\n
